Envirothon, kids learning in a hands on competion

Envirothon

The Envirothon is a series of hands-on contests in which teams of high school students complete to solve environmental problems. The event works much like an athletic competition, and the winners of that event get the chance to compete in the Canon Envirothon. The Envirothon stimulates practical curriculum development by establishing broad study areas and helping schools to find useful resources in their community. Partnering schools with your local Soil & Water Conservation District, and other environmentally concerned organizations, is a smart match. Conservation Districts alone cannot provide students with a first hand look at what environmental careers are like.
